tration OF the Government, tho payment OF
liberal pensions to Union soldiers and sailors,
and payment Of interest and principal Of tho

duction OF internal revenue, except on liquors..
Is will prevent the accumulation OF surplus in
the National Treasury, and we denOunce any at
tempt to abolish the tax on liquors for the pur-
pose OF keeping up the present unjust, unequal
and oncrous tariff system.
We call attention to and affirm as sound. tho
doctrine and policy following the emphatic and
patrotic language Of President Cleveland

Unable advantages should be jealousy guarded

part OF the Government should secure them to
the people," We demand that all the lands Of
the Government be held for actual settlers who
are citizens Of the United States, and for those
who declare their intention to become such.

mand our heartiest good wishes for speedy
success.
Labor being the chief factor and great con-
servator Of FREQ and liberal institutions, should
enjoy its full share Of the common benefits de-
rived thercfrom; therefore, We favor such re-
straints Of GENERALIZATION and encroachments OF
corporate power Is to bring the best possible
protection to honest labor, and ut the same
time conserve the interests Of honestly en-
ployed capital.

immigration as will prevent tbs landing, for
